The Collective-Action Constitution
Wednesday, April 23
Featuring Neil Siegel
David W. Ichel Distinguished Professor of Law and Professor of Political Science
Director of the Summer Institute on Law and Policy
Duke Law
In a provocative new account of national power, Professor Neil Siegel argues that the U.S. Constitution makes the federal government responsible for solving a wide range of public problems--including environmental threats, health risks, gun violence, drug addiction, and inequality--that states cannot solve on their own and sometimes make worse. Professor Siegel will discuss the historical origins of his account of the Constitution and its implications for federal programs today.
